Adjusted Ratification: Post-Commitment Actions to UN Human Rights Treaties
Human Rights Review Pub Date : 2018-10-26 , DOI: 10.1007/s12142-018-0536-0
Audrey L. Comstock

A rich literature examines human rights treaty commitment and compliance. A subset of this literature has begun to examine the international legal actions states make following treaty ratification. I argue that the ways that states legally engage with treaties following commitment to UN human rights treaties is much more nuanced and differentiated than scholars have thus far presented via Reservation, Understanding, and Declaration. I introduce a first descriptive analysis of what I term Post-Commitment Actions (PCAs) to UN human rights treaties and generate varying hypotheses of why different PCAs have different relationships with expected human rights practices. I conduct a preliminary statistical analysis of the effect of PCAs on human rights practices and find that they are varied and important. Some PCAs result in improved human rights, while others result in worse human rights. I conclude by calling for further future study into these treaty actions.

调整后的批准:对联合国人权条约的承诺后行动

大量文献研究了人权条约的承诺和遵守情况。该文献的一部分已开始研究各国在条约批准后采取的国际法律行动。我认为,国家在对联合国人权条约作出承诺后合法参与条约的方式比迄今为止学者通过“保留”、“理解”和“宣言”提出的方式更加微妙和差异化。我首先对我所称的联合国人权条约的承诺后行动 (PCA) 进行了描述性分析,并就为什么不同的 PCA 与预期的人权实践有不同的关系提出了不同的假设。我对 PCA 对人权实践的影响进行了初步统计分析,发现它们是多样且重要的。一些 PCA 改善了人权,而另一些则导致更糟的人权。最后,我呼吁进一步研究这些条约行动。
